Our Focus
Stabilized pure GPCR protein for ligand screening – Immediate need and impact
• Stabilized and functional receptor
– Stabilized in agonist, antagonist, or inverse agonist state
– Tool compound design for specific conformational states
– Ability to discover allosteric and dimer binding sites
– 5 orthogonal assays for novel ligand discovery using purified protein and “ODD” GPCR fragment chemical library• GPCR Thermal Stability Analysis
• GPCR mass spectrometry based size
exclusion chromatography for compound
library mixture screening
• Fragment based screen via LCP-CPM assay
• SPR based kinetic binding assay
• LCP off-rate assay
Collaboration with NIH Small Molecule Screening Center MLPCN

2 Different GPCR Assessment Criteria
• Receptor RMSD
• Receptor-ligand interactions - important for
understanding basic molecular interactions as well as
structure based drug discovery
– Ligand RMSD
– Receptor-ligand contacts
(Nat. Rev. Drug Disc. June 2009)
Superposition of All Ligands
• Large variety of binding
poses, but clustered
around similar location
(crystal structure
is shown in blue;
model 7msp is shown as
spheres;
all other models
are shown as sticks)
